Green Tea Goes Viral After Being Forced to Tell the Truth - Chapter 5.2
With Ning Chuchu gaining support for exposing the scandal of Song and Liu, even her previous so-called scandals were gradually being cleared.
Everyone felt that Ning Chuchu was completely being manipulated by the Love Destiny production team! Everything presented on the show was fake!
Knowing about this, Ning Chuchu thought… it was really a beautiful misunderstanding. 🙂
The Truth System proved its prowess once again. Ning Chuchu felt that the system had some real capabilities, and her trust in the system was slowly growing.
Now, Ning Chuchu looked forward to meeting her stepsister, Yun Yirou, even more. With the Truth System’s help, she was determined to figure out what’s been going on with Yun Yirou lately, and then… deal a blow!
Unfortunately, the director suddenly informed them that Yun Yirou had some business to attend to tonight, so she wouldn’t be returning to the Love Cabin. As for the rebellious and extravagant young master, Yin Shaoquan, who was supposed to have a date with Yun Yirou, he reportedly went out all night with friends and wouldn’t be coming back either.
Ning Chuchu clicked her tongue unhappily. Oh well, forget it. She didn’t mind letting Yun Yirou jump around for a few more days. It’s a perfect opportunity for her to explore more features of the system.
She knew that as long as she stayed with the other contestants, they would inevitably pry into gossip, openly or secretly. In the past, she might have been interested in playing along, saying some ambiguous things to see them squirming with curiosity—it would have been fun.
But now… she couldn’t tell lies to people anymore. Who knows when she might spill out some earth-shattering secrets and end up in big trouble.
So, Ning Chuchu decisively used her health as an excuse and retreated to her room.
Bang—
She closed the door firmly, shutting out the curious gazes of the other contestants and the production team.
Once alone in her room, Ning Chuchu finally relaxed a bit. So many unexpected events happened today, and even though she was used to the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, she couldn’t help but feel caught off guard.
She rested her chin on one hand, narrowing her big and peach blossom eyes thoughtfully. She silently recalled everything that happened today.
After an unknown amount of time, just when she was evaluating the reliability of the system, her phone suddenly rang, interrupting her thoughts.
“Hello, Sister Zhang?”
“Chuchu, the situation is not good!” Her manager, Sister Zhang, urgently said, “Song Qi and Liu Mei just sent a lawyer’s letter saying they’re suing you for spreading rumors! Moreover, many celebrities in the industry have posted on Weibo, firmly siding with Song Qi and Liu Mei and accusing you of defaming them.”
“Song Qi seems to have hired a lot of water army to muddy the waters. They’re not only aggressively bringing up the lies you told before, but they’re also desperately whitewashing him. Moreover, there are many stars standing up for them, and the combined power of their fans should not be underestimated.”
“In short, the current public opinion is not in your favor! If you continue to let Song Qi and Liu Mei distort the truth, your reputation will plummet again, and the situation will be worse than before!”
“The worst part is, Song Qi is already contacting the investors behind him. He might be trying to blacklist you. He is also pressuring our company. The company wants to stand by you, but… we might not be able to withstand the pressure from other investors.”
Ning Chuchu’s face turned cold. With her phone in one hand and the other resting on the desk, her slender and fair fingers unconsciously tapped on the surface. After a long pause, she suddenly chuckled.
This smile was different from her usual gentle and elegant demeanor. Her brows and eyes became sharp and fierce, and the curve of her lips carried an inexplicable sense of cold mockery.
Her voice was clear and magnetic, once praised by fans as the gentlest goddess voice. But now, it was devoid of its sweet tone, replaced with absolute calmness and indifference. “I’ll send you an audio clip later. Find someone suitable to leak it.”
Upon hearing the word “audio,” Sister Zhang’s heart immediately settled.
She was well aware of Ning Chuchu’s capabilities. Feeling relieved, she laughed, “As long as you have a trick up your sleeve, don’t worry, I’ll maximize the benefits of that audio clip.”
Ning Chuchu’s lips curled with meaning. Although she always appeared gentle and mild to the outside world, anyone underestimating her would end up in a big loss.
When Song Qi and Liu Mei were having an affair right next door, they probably never imagined that others would find out and that there would be evidence, right?
Or perhaps, were they confident in their power to cover it all up, so they were not afraid of her threatening them with this matter?
Of course, if it wasn’t for the intervention of the Truth System, given Ning Chuchu’s conservative and cautious nature, it would have been impossible for her to act so decisively.
But now, things had come to this point, and she had torn her facade in front of Song Qi and Liu Mei. In this life-or-death situation, Ning Chuchu didn’t want to “die.” So, she could only… nail Song Qi and Liu Mei to the pillar of shame.
Although the system promised that telling the truth would lead to good results, this matter concerned her future in the industry, and Ning Chuchu couldn’t leave everything to chance and wait for the system to turn the tide with some mystical power.
She had to take matters into her own hands and ensure that nothing went wrong.
“By the way, Chuchu, there’s one more thing…” Sister Zhang’s hesitant voice came through.
“What is it?”
“If you’re going to expose Song Qi, it will definitely affect the drama ‘Endless Immortal Path.’ The production has already started, and if you change the director and female lead midway, not to mention the public opinion, the production team will suffer a significant loss… The investors will take a big hit.”
“So what?” Ning Chuchu asked, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
Why should she care about these heartless capitalists?
Sister Zhang said, “…You haven’t forgotten, have you? The biggest investor in ‘Endless Immortal Path’ is your fiancé, Xie Jinqiu!”
Ning Chuchu: “…”
Oh, she really forgot.
